Soil organic carbon stocks in estuarine and marine mangrove ecosystems are driven by nutrient colimitation of P and N
Mangroves play an important role in carbon sequestration, but soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks differ between marine and estuarine mangroves, suggesting differing processes and drivers of SOC accumulation. Here, we compared undegraded and degraded marine and estuarine mangroves in a regional approach across the Indonesian archipelago for their SOC stocks and evaluated possible drivers imposed b...
متن کاملImpact of mooring activities on carbon stocks in seagrass meadows
Boating activities are one of the causes that threaten seagrass meadows and the ecosystem services they provide. Mechanical destruction of seagrass habitats may also trigger the erosion of sedimentary organic carbon (Corg) stocks, which may contribute to increasing atmospheric CO2. This study presents the first estimates of loss of Corg stocks in seagrass meadows due to mooring activities in Ro...
متن کاملVariation in t ~ 1 3 C values for the seagrass Thalassia testudinum and its relations to mangrove carbon
Lin, G., Banks, T. and Sternberg, LO., 1991. Variation in 5~3C values of the seagrass Thalassia testudinum and its relations to mangrove carbon. Aquat. Bot., 40: 333-341. Carbon isotope ratios (~3C/t2C) were measured for the leaves of the seagrass Thalassia testudinum Banks ex K/Snig and carbonates of shells collected at the seagrass beds from seven sites along the coast of southern Florida, U....
متن کاملEstimation of biomass, carbon stocks and soil sequestration of Gowatr mangrove forests, Gulf of Oman
The mangrove forest ecosystem is known to possess a variety of ecosystem services, including high rates of carbon sequestration, storage and mitigating climate change through reduced deforestation. This study was carried out in the mangrove forests of Gowatr Bay, Gulf of Oman during 2017-18 to quantify biomass and carbon stocks of all components of this forest, including live and dead trees, so...
متن کاملCarbon stocks in tropical forests decrease with liana density.
Tropical forests are experiencing structural changes that may reduce carbon storage potential. The recent increase in liana abundance and biomass is one such potential change. Lianas account for approximately 25 per cent of woody stems and may have a strong impact on tree dynamics because severe liana infestation reduces tree growth and increases tree mortality. Based on forest inventory data f...
